Hi Tomeu,

Unidata has long been licensed by the Space Science and Engineering Center
(SSEC) of the University of Wisconsin at Madison to distribute our version
of McIDAS, Unidata McIDAS, to educational institutions. Within the past year
SSEC refined their definition of allowable use of McIDAS at institutions
outside of the U.S. Representatives from non-U.S. educational sites are
typically recognized by their email addresses not ending in '.edu'.
I am required to have prospective McIDAS users read and agree to the
following:
SSEC considers permissible users of the international university community
to be those who are using McIDAS-X for academic classroom instruction or
academic research by students related to obtaining a degree. Research
institutes
and government agencies that use McIDAS-X for meteorological research or
operations must purchase a license from SSEC for the non-academic use. Given
this clarification, and if Unidata users remain within the licensing terms
that include no re-distribution of any portion of the software, SSEC is
agreeable
to providing this software to the international university Unidata user
community.
Given the above position, we need a clear statement from you that specifies
_all_ of the following:
- you are accessing McIDAS from Unidata for use in a university; please provide
the name of your university
- McIDAS must be used for academic classroom instruction or academic research
by students related to obtaining a degree
- your installation of McIDAS is not for use by a government agency,
non-academic
research institute, or private concern
- you agree that you will not re-distribute any portion of the software
As soon as you state that your use of Unidata McIDAS will conform to the
terms listed above, we will add the email address:
address@hidden
to the list that allows downloading of Unidata McIDAS.
Cheers,
Tom
